False Pretense
Description: He had fallen for her and her him. But he screwed up, when it came to it he dumbly rejected her to uphold a reputation, but will he cave in when they start spending even more time together because of a band? SessKag, mainly
Recap: Sasuke's hardened expression faulted, and gave Sesshoumaru another glare and turned around, but Sesshoumaru caught his arm, and pulled him back to him so Sasuke's ear was at Sesshoumaru's mouth, and he whispered.
"This will never be over until you, and your whore of a sister, are dead…"
Sasuke cringed at the chill in Sesshoumaru's voice, and ripped his arm free, took Sakura's hand and stomped out of the café angrily. Sesshoumaru smirked.
"This'll be fun.."
Chapter 16. How Time Flies
Kagome walked over to Sesshoumaru, and looked at him, her eyebrow raised.
"And what was that about?" She asked. And he merely looked at her and shrugged.
"Nothing." He replied. She shook her head and let it go, she didn't want her good afternoon ruined.
Sesshoumaru, and Kagome looked over to the booth, where Gaara was looking out the window ignoring the altercation between his brother, and the Uchiha.
"C'mon, lets just go to the park or something.."
The months went by as did the seasons, and the two feuding boys said not a word to each other. Everything had gone by as it would have, had Sasuke not even come to Tokyo. It was June now, and the school year was coming to an end, and there were two events coming up. The eighth year semi formal that would be after school, and the eighth year trip to the beach during school hours. There was one thing special about these events. A live band would be playing at both. This band was Anti- Love.
They were already given a list of songs to play which did consist of some of their own material. Some stuff on the other hand was not. Some of the music was music that wasn't even their genre. And this was cause for worry. The songs were voted for by the student body, and that was one reason the group, especially Sesshoumaru was worried. Everyone was listening to things like rap, and r & b. And that Sesshoumaru could not do. He refused. But he couldn't because then the band couldn't participate at all. And that is why, he at least tried. First song to learn: Right Round, by Flo Rida. Damn the student body..
"How am I supposed to do that!" Sesshoumaru complained. "I can't rap, you nimrods!"
"Sesshoumaru, you're just going to have to try. I have to do it too." Kagome tried to convince him, and so far it was not working. Sesshoumaru groaned.
"Oh, c'mon, you can do it, it's only three songs, and one you'll sing with me, you'll be fine." Kagome pleaded again.
"Alright I'll try.. Just.. I don't want to talk about it anymore. I'm going to make a fool out of myself.. Gahh!" Sesshoumaru said throwing his hands up, and walking away. Kagome snickered and followed him.
The day was tomorrow, and the band was together practicing like crazy. But only on the songs that they were so annoyed and worried about.
"C'mon Sesshoumaru! You're getting it!" Bankotsu pushed.
"Oh, shut up! I got it.." Sesshoumaru said having just finished another round of "Where'd You Go?" By Fort Minor. This time successfully completing it.
"Ok, just one more time, perfectly, and we can move on to our last song." Kagome said, while working some electronics, fixing it a bit.
Sesshoumaru mumbled something inaudible, and did as told, and thankfully, that time was a success, and they moved on. It was now Kagome's and Rin's song. Obsessed by Mariah Carey. Kagome had already heard the song and was very familiar with it, and Rin was only under lying vocals. It should go smoothly. And it did. And everyone watched as Kagome sang, as usual, it was beautiful.
"And I was like, why are you so obsessed with me?

Graspin' for air I'm ventilation
You out of breath, hope you ain't waitin

As the song ended everyone still looked bored, as well as Kagome, but still gave the song the appropriate enthusiasm.
"So I guess it's safe to say, that this one doesn't really need practice?" Sango asked, extremely bored.
"Yeah, I think so." Kagome replied also bored.
"So everything's good?" Miroku asked hopefully.
"Yeaaaap." Sesshoumaru replied packing up all of his things. "I gotta go. I'll see you guys bright and early tomorrow." He added unenthused.
Being that they were playing at the beach, they had permission to skip their first and second periods unlike everyone else on the trip to go and set up at the beach and wait for everyone's arrival. They would bring all their equipment to school, and they would take an early bus to the beach.
As Sesshoumaru was walking home, he was wondering what would happen tomorrow, and how it'd go. He was really hoping he didn't make a fool of himself..
The Next Morning.
Sesshoumaru woke up a few minutes before his alarm went off. He disabled it, and got up. He got a towel, and headed to the bathroom, where he took his shower, and commenced his daily routine. He decided not to do anything with his hair, leaving it natural, since he would be swimming anyhow. He left himself completely natural today, and was ready much earlier then he was expecting. With that thought he decided to continue writing the lyrics to another song he was thinking of. It was called "Sleeping With Ghosts". He quickly finished them, being that he was already three- quarters finished anyway. He read them over and smirked, quite pleased.
Sleeping With Ghosts
The sea's evaporating
Though it comes as no surprise
These clouds we're seeing
They're explosions in the sky
It seems it's written
But we can't read between the line
Hush
It's okay
Dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Cause soulmates never die
This one world vision
Turns us in to compromise
What good's religion
When it's each other we despise
Damn the government
Damn their killing
Damn their lies
Hush
It's okay
Dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Cause soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Never die
Soulmates never die
Never die...
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die..
He looked at the clock, and decided he should leave, and gathered his things and headed out the door to meet Kagome at her house, where all the equipment had been, he also wanted to ask her a little something. Something rather important..
Woo~ Well, another trying chapter I guess. What'd you think?
